A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Fierce and Fatal Battle Between Two
Alligators
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A fierce and bloody fight between alliga-
tors was the rare sport witnessed at Coates
VILE few days ago, by one of the attend
ants in DR.. Huston's garden, in that Dor
ough. Each Of the combatants measured
over five feet in length, and had been living
for eight years peaceably together in great
tank which DR.. Huston had constructed for
them near his house. They were natives Of
Florida, and were brought from that coun-
try when small by DR.. Huston. For some
weeks, however, the two great reptiles had
been showing signs of discomfort with each
other. but no one anticipated the terrible
and fatal termination of this curious quar-
rel
One day the attention of the gardener, who
was at work near the tank, was attracted
by a commotion in the water, and looking
up he saw that the two alligators were en-
gagged in a desperate struggle. The man
rushed TO the spot, but was powerless to
stop the fight, which was raging so fiercely
that the water was lashed into foam and
the greenhouse was splashed in every
direction. The largest of the combat
ants was seeking TO get the body Of the
smaller alligator in his wide open Jaws,
but the latter was always too quick
to be caught, and moved round and round,
striking the big reptile with his tail and
sometimes getting his enemys legs in his
jaws and biting them. The tank was soon
redeemed with blood which flowed from the
wounds inflicted in this curious contest.
The gardener attempted to separate the
maddened contestants by beating them
with long pole, but they paid no attention
to this attempt at diversion and went on
with their fight only more desperately.
They rolled over each other, some
the bank in the mud but always lashing
with their tails. The smaller and more
agile of the two continued TO bite the legs
and body of the big alligator, and the latter
moved about slowly, seeking TO make sue
cessful grab at his opponents body. Their
sleepy eyes had become bright and snappy,
and il was evident that the fight was to be
TO the death At last, in an effort TO snap
at the swinging tail Of the larger, the small
alligator fell over on his side and before no

Walton of work! For those silent recllIseS
tins labor is the only link which connects
them ever so remotely with the living
world. 1t IS more than an occupation 1T is

and the threat of taking his tools from him
rarely falls to insure the submission of the
rebel
1t is impossible to leave the Maison Cen

feeling of almost superstitiOus horror at the
vision OF those miserable beings clustered
In eternal isolation, doomed to unbroken
silence, buried i'll their livery of infamy as

sealed to his 900 companions of crime and
shame, dropped into the same tomb with
himself, as if the lid of coffin had closed
upon it and the hand of death forever
obllterated its features.

ABE LINCoLNs FIRST FIGHT.

down the Bishop Branch, town of Niroqua.
While in the Office Friday, Mr. White re-

were fast friends, split rails, did surveying
and went to ihuslIing bees together. Lin

bully made for Abe, and in the first fall
Lincoln came down on top of the heap. The
champion was bruising and causing blood to
flow down Lincoln's face when a happy
mode of warfare entered his original
brain. He quickly thrust his hands
into a convenient bunch of smartweed
and rubbed the same in the eyes
of his opponent, who almost instantly
begged for mercy. He was released, but
his sight, for the time being, was extinct.
No member of the trio possessed pocket
handkerchief, so Lincoln, with usual
originality, tore from his own shirt front
the surplus cloth, washed and bandaged the
fellows optics and sent him home.
II was also present at the first lawsuit he
ever conducted in a Justices court. Here
served him well the inexhaustibe supply OF
original ideas and ways which characterized
his past and future life. In boyhood days
he was as true to his friends as his great
career proved him to be true to his coun-

People who have never done any soldier

Immediately after battle in the country

ever 1t was the case after Gettysburg.
Our army left the field in a drenching rain,

continued until we left Hagerstown on the
night of July 49, 1868, on our
march to the Potomac. The whole
country was vast sea of mud, i'll places

marched steadily forward, and arrived at
Falling Waters about noon of the 14th.
We fell in exhaustion upon the soggy
ground, and went to sleep in the rain. We
were aroused by body of Yankee cavalry
charging through our lines with pistols and
drawn sabres. A momentary confusion en-
sued, Gen. Pettigrew was killed, but the
cavalry was decimated
The cavalry was followed closely by
Yankee infantry and artillery. Company
G. Orr's Rifles was thrown out as skirmish

held back the advancing hosts of twenty
times their number until two divisions had
crossed the Potomac into Virginia. Then,
surrounded on all sides, in front and rear,
the company surrendered nineteen men. In
the conflict they had killed two officers and
twentv-eight men and wounded, perhaps,
five times that number. The pontoon
